I suggest, kindly, that they should hit the escorts first, but there's always one or two Klinks who take it upon themselves to go after either the cruiser or sci-ship. You know, the most tankable ships at that level.

Result?

While they're wasting time firing on a ship that can shield tank for a good while, in come the escorts and focus fire on their BoP's. They're blown to pieces in seconds.

Meanwhile if they had focus fired on the escorts, the escorts will either be too busy keeping themselves alive or are destroyed fairly quickly.

Escorts = Deals the most damage, but are the easiest to destoy
Cruisers and Sci-ships = Deals the least damage, but are the hardest to destroy.

Go for the escorts!

Also, if you're a BoP pilot, remember to use the battle cloak. It can save your life and avoids giving the opposing team a point.
